For two decades Stephen Hawking has been responsible for ideas which have transformed the way we view our universe. With A Brief History of Time he fulfils a long – held ambition and opens his astonishing insights to a wider audience, offering the non-scientific layman a unique opportunity to participate in perhaps the greatest intellectual adventure of our age.
Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? These are just some of the devastating questions considered in a clear and accessible book which begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time.
